How To: Use Distress Inks

Her colouring is amazing, as you will be able to see from any of the cards she has designed for LOTV. Take a look at the rest of their blog for examples of her work.

Now, I just need to go buy some distress inks, but the question is, do I use the refills, like Dena, or the more readily available (so it seems) ink pads? Either way, it will have to wait until next month when I have some pennies, unless I make lots and lots of money at my craft fair on Sunday -St Margaret's Hall, Horsforth, in aid of Bramley Animal Rescue, for those of you who would like to come along.

About Me

Hello, my name is Holly and I live in Yorkshire, UK, where it generally rains and does not much else, but that gives me plenty of time to sit indoors and craft. I have been making cards for about a year now and I soon moved onto sewing and trying other crafts too.

It started as something to keep me occupied while the hubby (or fiance as he was at the time) watched football (soccer to anyone in the US) and it became a bit of an obsession, so much so that my spare room is now my sewing studio and I no longer have to sit at the kitchen table.

My other hobbies include tap dancing, following MotoGP and reading. I am also studying with the Open University for my history degree and am in my final year.

I sometimes wonder how I find time to do all this, and see my friends, as by day I work for a solicitors' firm in Leeds.
